RE: JFFS2 FS is read-only (not what I want)

Also as a side note, I think even if you unlock your banks/sectors in
U-Boot, when the Linux kernel is launched I am not sure if the
sectors/banks remain unlocked. You can also use the MTD Utils to unlock
the device, erase the device, etc. in the shell.

Did you check to see if your flash banks are unlocked?
 

According to U-Boot, only the first four sectors are locked.  My JFFS2
partition is in sectors 37-52 (1-based).  I'll definitely look more
deeply into this, though.

thanks,
